A Happy Christmas by the sea

WEDNESDAY 23rd to FRIDAY 26th DECEMBER

You are invited to our Christmas House Party by the sea.

We’ve created the perfect festive retreat – imagine crisp December days filled with invigorating walks along our pristine beach followed by cosy evenings of games and conversation beside our roaring log fire.  As twilight falls, craft cocktails await, and intimate dinners in our acclaimed restaurant, Harry’s.

Chef Matthew’s exceptional festive menus celebrate the season, each course thoughtfully paired with fine and rare wines, concluding with moreish digestifs to make every evening truly memorable.

*****

Upon arrival on the 23rd, we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with freshly baked mince pies, brandy butter and tea in the Sitting Room, before you enjoy an à la carte dinner in Harry’s.

Christmas Eve brings a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, time for long beach walks, and relaxation in our snug. We’ll serve Christmas cake and tea in the afternoon, followed by our special Christmas Eve menu at Harry’s.

For Christmas Day, we’re serving a champagne breakfast to start your celebrations, followed by more champagne and canapés before our three-course Christmas lunch. The afternoon offers Christmas cake, tea, and board games in the Sitting Room. Later, we’ll provide a Christmas supper tray for you to enjoy wherever you wish.

On Boxing Day, join us for a morning yoga class before your final Gallivant breakfast.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your Christmas with us will be both relaxing and memorable.

My daughter and I had a fabulous time. We loved the beachy chic vibe and all the thoughtful touches such night time tea, beach towels, wellies, elevenses. The food was amazing – we love a small, thoughtful, local menu. Two staff who stood out for us were Daisy in the spa and India in the yoga studio, however everyone we encountered was unfailingly polite and friendly. It was a glorious mother-daughter weekend, made especially wonderful by our stylish surroundings and great food.

I was so well taken care of at The Gallivant – from providing me with a toothbrush to driving me to the train station to catch my train. It was so easy to relax there and I loved the little treats of elevenses and the 5pm wine. Thank you so much! I can't wait to come back 🙂

This was out third visit to the Gallivant . We were lucky to have the most beautiful January weather . As always the service , food & wines were excellent. We thought the additional pricing for the shared dinner dishes were expensive but we avoided these! It was good to see a change to the meat choice day on day , a similar change to the fish would have been welcome but the John Dory was absolutely delicious. This time we were celebrating my wife’s Birthday and the various recognitions of this were much appreciated. Anna remains a wonderful breakfast host & Elton looked after us very well but all the staff were friendly, helpful & welcoming. The room (19) was immaculate. Michael

The food was absolutely incredible.

We did have an issue on the second night of our stay in that the lock on our door broke but Krystle (Chrystal?) was fantastic and she sorted everything with the minimum of fuss. Please thank her from me and please know that she is such an asset to your team – helpful, friendly and calm.

What an incredible hotel. Thank you so much everyone.
